    Hi


    What Windows version are you using?

    As in Windows Vista I know as I have formatted two USB pens simultaneously and even to two different file formats as in NFTS and FAT32 fine.

    Disk 3 & 4 are USB removable Pen drives

    So have you tried to format both at once? if using a USB splitter cable or USB hub it may not work as they are off same USB controller, but if you use two different USB slots and controllers it should work.
